Would anybody be able to provide an explanation in case this happens again?ĮxFat drives, in my experience, behave strangely under Mac OS X after they are improperly removed. I checked right after I did that, and still no files. The last thing I did with the drive was unmount/remount using the Terminal. This drive has worked fine before.ĮDIT: I just left the Finder window for the drive open for ~20 minutes, and the files magically appeared. It’s still working fine on other computers regardless.

Even if I force eject it from the terminal, the light on the external stays on. And, as stated, I can access all of the files using the terminal.

The drive is mounted, it is not empty, it worked on a Windows PC. How do I access my files visually from the Finder?
